Affinity: Chaos Chapter 829 lcy Flames

Chapter 829 lcy Flames

This was a city where its strongest individuals were in the Sage Plane. Had Grey been one of the famous geniuses from the Faction, they would've at least known of him, but they knew nothing about him. And from the way Grey was in a haste, they felt he probably stole the badge, and the original owner was chasing after him.

Grey naturally wasn't bothered with them, if they could deal with the necromancer chasing him, he wouldn't be bothered, but if they can't, he would use the teleportation array while they were fighting.

The men stood guard and watched as the necromancer got closer. When they sensed the eerie aura he was radiating, they knew he was trouble.

They turned to Grey and he shrugged as if telling them, 'I told you before'.

"Who's he?" The oldest man in the group asked Grey.

"A necromancer who wants to kill me. See why I'm in a hurry now?" Grey said plainly before asking, "Can I go now? If I leave, he will leave this place alone."

The man nodded. From the necromancer's aura, they knew they were not his match, so fighting against it was not something they dared to attempt. Being in the city made things even worse. The casualty would be on another level.

"You little brat! You can't escape." The necromancer yelled and a ball of light shot straight into the city.

Crash! Bang!

The light landed in the city, causing a large explosion. It was followed by the appearance of a pale-looking figure, standing in the wreckage.

The pupils of the old man in the Sage Plane dilated. This was a Sage Plane corpse, and it was at the Peak.

"Run." He said to Grey and he told the others to activate the city's protection arrays before charging at the corpse.

He couldn't take the risk of letting the necromancer send in another Sage Plane puppet into the city since it would be detrimental to them.

Grey nodded before rushing in the direction of the teleportation array. The corpse moved its head and looked in the direction of Grey. A pale blue flame lit up in its eyes and it rushed after Grey.

The old man stood in front of it as he tried to block it from advancing. It waved its hand and a pale blue flame appeared that sent the old man flying.

Grey who was on the verge of escaping sensed the flame and his eyes widened in shock. This was the same flame he had, however, there seemed to be a different energy in this corpse's flames, it was chilling.

'An icy flame?' He was taken aback by this, but this didn't stop him from running anyway. His life was more important to him.

There seemed to be a glint of intelligence in the corpse, contrary to how corpses usually act. The corpse avoided fighting with the men in the Sage Plane, its target was clear, Grey.

'Void, what do you think about this guy's flames?' Grey asked as he ran away.

After leaving the poison miasma, Void rushed out of the storage ring. He was bored there, so he quickly exited. Seeing that Grey was on the run, he couldn't help but mock his predicament. To think all this stemmed from Void having a black elemental grade. Had they not taken the test in the forest, Grey would've never crossed paths with necromancers.

The corpse dodged all the attacks of the men as it rushed after Grey. The attacks however slowed it down, so Grey was able to get to the teleportation array before it was able to get close to him.

Grey instantly activated the array and waited for it to start up. The other men delayed the corpse, but their attempts were futile since at the last minute when Grey was about to be sent out, the corpse got close and attacked the teleportation array.

Grey quickly countered with blue flames of his own. Both flames crashed, and although it didn't destroy the teleportation array, it seemed to disrupt the teleportation tunnel, and Grey was already in it, unable to exit.

When the corpse sensed Grey's blue flames, it paused for barely a second and looked at Grey in shock. Its eyes shone bright and a blue light shot straight into the spatial tunnel which had completely enveloped Grey, sending him in another direction.

Grey and Void were thrown into a chaotic spatial tunnel that didn't seem to have a definite destination.

"This is bad, this is bad." Grey panicked.

He watched the tunnel in front of them slowly break apart from the front. As long as the path they were currently on breaks as well, they would fall into s.p.a.ce, even though they didn't die, leaving this place would be almost impossible, even for two s.p.a.ce Elementalist like Void and himself. Their abilities were not at that level yet.

"Void, what do you do?" Grey asked in panic as the spatial tunnel continued breaking apart. Presently, they couldn't even head to their destination, much less exit the tunnel.

"What can we do?" Void replied with a wry smile.

For the first time, Grey realized Void didn't have a solution to their current predicament.

Their hopes were on the brink of getting shattered when a bright blue light shot straight into Grey's head, he couldn't even react before the light entered his body.

….

While Grey was trying to escape from the necromancer, a figure was hidden in the void, watching him as he was held back by the old men from the city.

"The young lord surely does have a knack for getting the attention of these guys. Could it have something to those guys? They must've marked him, so troublesome." A voice muttered as he watched the scene before him unfold.

This was the man protecting Grey from the shadows, he had been with him all this while, even when he went to the Faction. He was naturally sensed by the old figures in the Faction, but after speaking with them, he was allowed to wait outside for Grey whenever he wanted to head out.

When Grey entered the poison miasma, he wanted to rush in and bring him out, but after careful observation, he realized Grey didn't seem to be affected by it. He also saw Grey using his miasma, as well as those horned men he subdued.

Grey seemed to bring him surprises whenever he wasn't with him. Even if it was only a month or two, Grey would grow by leaps and bounds, amazing him every time he sees him again.

Even after following Grey for so long, he didn't dare to say he knew all of Grey's moves. He had seen how secretive Grey was, so he was sure there must be a move he was keeping hidden, waiting for the right time to use it.

He watched on as the necromancer sent the corpse inside the city and how the corpse chased after Grey.

Seeing the corpse almost destroying the array, his eyes flashed a little, but he didn't panic.

After Grey's figure had entered the spatial tunnel, he waved his hand, and the man as well as the corpse disappeared. He also appeared on the teleportation array momentarily before disappearing once again.

'Looks like I can't get him to his desired destination, but I can ensure he isn't in any form of danger, and also appears on the Continent, as for where he appears, that has to do with his luck.' He thought as he forcefully tore into s.p.a.ce.

When he arrived, the spatial tunnel was on the last part, he focused his energy and tried to bring out a destination for Grey and Void.

While doing this, he brought out the necromancer and dumped him into the turbulent s.p.a.ce.

The spatial tunnel with Grey and Void stabilized after some time, to the ecstasy of Grey who had truly lost all hopes.

….

"What happened?" Grey asked as he realized that the spatial tunnel suddenly stabilized.

"Luck?" Void replied, unsure.

He knew for a fact that the spatial tunnel was breaking apart, and it would take a powerful individual to fix it. Or maybe they were just that lucky.

"My luck is not that good." Grey replied.

He could tell that their current destination was different from where he was supposed to appear.

'Did someone help me?' He thought, a little bit confused.
